Johnson, who is based in Portland, Ore., was one of two winners of the annual fellowship, which was awarded this week in conjunction with the 26th annual Kyoto Prize, Japan’s version of the Nobel Prize. The journalism fellowship is administered by Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego.

Fellowship winners travel to Japan for one week to attend the Kyoto Prize awards ceremony and interview the prize winners. This year’s recipients include Laszlo Lovasz, the Hungarian-born mathematician who has specialized in a discipline called discrete mathematics. Lovasz “has provided a link among numerous branches of mathematics through his advanced research on discrete structures and algorithms,” the Kyoto Prize committee said in a statement.

Johnson said Lovasz’s work built on research by Claude Shannon, who is credited with inventing the information theory for point-to-point radio communications. “Lovasz used geometry to update Shannon's algorithms for the cell-tower-hopping algorithms used today,” Johnson said.

Also named as a 2010 Kyoto Prize Journalism Fellow was Alice Park, a senior reporter for Time magazine.

The Kyoto Prizes will be awarded on Nov. 10, with laureate lectures and workshops running through Nov. 12.

Everyone,
I am terribly sorry for Mr Weitzel's (a.k.a. Selene Shine) post on such a wonderful story. This comment bar was meant for congrats. Evidently some people have no manners.
Again, I am very sorry for this man's behavior.
Respectfully,

SSG Phelps here. Contact me and tell me what government office or law firm you work for. However, I don't believe it is really that hard to find me. In the meantime I will report this post to my Judge Advocate General office, to Criminal Investigations Division, and other sources that are sure to find out who you really are and how you are violating an international court order for stalking and harassment.
Yes. Due to your horrible use of the English language I can only presume that this can be one person saying this is regarding a criminal case. Do you want to know what really gave it away though? Your signature... "Regards." Have a wonderful day Mr Weitzel.
Respectfully,
Dane Phelps

I've only joined this due to interest I have in finding sgt. Dane Phelps, Hawaii, of whom you have a photo of in your article. Please reply. This is an urgent issue regarding a criminal case. Regards, Selene K. Shine

Thanks, Baolt. I believe that Lovasz is honored in his own country, he is currently the director of the Mathematical Institute at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. As a citizen of both Hungary and the United States, he has also been a professor of computer science at Yale University and a senior researcher at the Microsoft Research Center.
